Summary
Jasper Wouters is a product manager with 11 years of experience translating signal processing, machine learning, and embedded systems research into mission-critical products and R&D roadmaps. He combines a PhD-trained technical depth in neural signal processing and spike sorting with hands-on firmware, SDK and toolchain development (C/C++, Python, Zephyr, TVM, CUDA/TensorRT) to deliver edge AI solutions. Jasper has led EU- and nationally-funded consortia, pitched projects at ESA and Space Tech events, and driven both product strategy and low-level implementation for fault-tolerant AI processors and real-time embedded systems. He’s comfortable bridging academia and industry—spinning academic research into production-grade tooling and supply chains—and often contributes code and documentation publicly via his website and Codeberg. Despite a product focus, he still writes and ports low-level drivers and build flows, a detail that keeps his roadmaps tightly grounded in technical feasibility.
